The Liverpool Daily Post says Everton boss David Moyes sent a team of scouts to watch the Croatia striker in Dinamoâ€™s goalless draw with Hadjuk Split in the first leg of the Nogometni Cup semi-finals.

Mandzukic is said to be attracting interest from a host of Premier League clubs including Arsenal and Tottenham, while Bundesliga side Werder Bremen are also following his progress.

The 23-year-old Croatian international is the second striker to come on to Evertonâ€™s radar recently with the club also interested in Portugal under-20s wonderkid Joao Silva.
